The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yang Dalin was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time he had met such a big person, one of the top ten legends.

So he didn't notice the words "your minister" that Rong Shuai mentioned.

He opened his mouth to explain: "Commander Rong, I was just joking about that request. At the time, our station chief said that we must be rewarded for making great contributions."

But the leaders really didn't know how to reward me.

They want me to be a leader, but I'm too young and have too little education; I'm not qualified.

I made a suggestion that I could be rewarded with a large courtyard in the future, using several of my achievements as a form of recognition.

I can let my aunt grow some vegetables there, and my family and I can live there. After we get married, we can follow the national call to have more children, so that the children will have a place to live when they grow up.

"Haha, I know our little devil Yang doesn't like being a leader. Are you getting married soon?"

Then I'll have to give you a wedding gift.

When are you getting married? Can I go to your minister's wedding reception with you?

Yang Dalin was startled. He was getting married, and Rong Shuai was coming, bringing along a minister he had never met before. That would probably shock many people. He quickly explained, "It's not time yet, Rong Shuai. There's no rush. I haven't reached the legal age yet."

I won't turn twenty until January 65.

I'll ask you again through Director Hou then, but you're too busy, so you don't need to come in person.

As for our minister, forget it. I've never met him, and I wouldn't dare trouble him.

To everyone's surprise, Rong Shuai burst into laughter, pointed to a man next to him wearing a black overcoat and a black cotton hat, and said, "Look who this is!"

"Ah, this leader looks familiar, but I've never seen him before."

May I ask who you are?

Yang Dalin thought the leader looked familiar, but couldn't quite place him.

He was certain he had never met him in this lifetime.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to not recognize myself.

Director Hou patted him on the back again: "This is your Minister Teng, you idiot."

Holy crap, the biggest boss in our company is here, and I didn't even recognize him.

Oh no! Yang Dalin immediately saluted and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Minister. I'm sorry, I'm too young and didn't recognize your greatness."

I was just a child, I had never met you before, and I didn't recognize you.

I'm so sorry.

If you're going to punish someone, punish our station manager.

It's his fault for not posting your photo in a prominent position in our various departments.

Blame him; he didn't even show me your photo. I'm innocent.

Yang Dalin looked aggrieved, which made everyone laugh.

A witty remark also helped the minister out of a tight spot.

The minister smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright, Comrade Yang. It's normal that you haven't seen me before and don't recognize me. I don't blame you. I came here with Rong Shuai to see you, our system's great hero."

Because of confidentiality, I didn't invite anyone else, and naturally, I didn't invite Qi Da Gou Xiong either.

But he's not like that, haha. He has a good job, otherwise why would he have brought you out?

Old Gong has found a wonderful son-in-law.

But I'll take your advice later and find someone to teach him a lesson, haha. He's the one who made you not recognize me; I have to give him a good beating.

Yang Dalin realized that the minister was joking and didn't take the matter seriously.

He also knew about Qi Desheng's father-in-law, Gong Jingye.

The joke about dealing with Qi Desheng might mean that Brother Sheng is getting a promotion.

That's good.

As for whether Qi Desheng will have some bad luck later, that's not something I, Yang Dalin, can control.

Everyone knew that Yang Dalin was telling a joke on purpose, and that Minister Teng was also taking the opportunity to make a joke as well.

Yang Dalin then looked at another big shot. This big shot also looked familiar, probably like his boss. Yang Dalin had seen the other person's photo online in his previous life, but had never met him in person, so he could only recognize him.

He had no choice but to take the initiative and ask, "Minister, who is this?"

The minister introduced, "This is Minister Duan from the First Ministry of Machine Building. You brought a lot of machines this time, so Minister Duan brought some experts from the Ministry of Machine Building to come and take a look."

Let's all come and see you, the great contributor.

And your stationmaster's father-in-law works under Lao Duan.

I also heard that you saved Comrade Gong Jingye's grandson, is that true?

Yang Dalin's heart skipped a beat; even the big shots knew his limitations.

But that's normal.

No wonder he looks familiar; isn't he the future fourth Minister of Railways?

Haha, today I not only met Rong Shuai, but also had the opportunity to meet two ministers.

I'm confident about my future.

No one in this unit would dare to bully me easily.

Yang Dalin took the initiative to extend both hands to shake hands with Minister Duan.

"Hello, Minister Duan, I'm sorry."

"If I didn't recognize you, you should blame yourself for going along with our minister to deal with our stationmaster."

Yang Dalin's words made everyone laugh again.

Minister Duan nodded and said kindly in his familiar Lu Xi dialect, "Haha, my fellow villager, not bad, a good comrade."

First, he rescued several children from human traffickers, and then he joined our railway system, where he did an excellent job.

However, I think being your boss is dangerous; you'll always end up taking the blame for me.

Haha, we're both from Luxi Water City.

He's from the same hometown.

I'm from Cherry Orchard County, you know?

Yes, Yang Dalin has heard of this place. Wasn't it going to be incorporated into Henan Province in the future?

Yang Dalin visited that place once in his later years. It was a very strange place. After it was assigned to Henan Province, the county government and the town of Chengguan were located in Cherry Orchard Town, Wusong Dahu County, Shuicheng City, Shandong Province.

The townships under the county's jurisdiction are separated from other villages in Cherry Orchard Town.

It's quite fun.

However, it seems to still be under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province, so it's not inappropriate to call him a fellow townsman.

Yang Dalin quickly replied, "I do know, but I've never been there. Hello, fellow villager."

When the fellow sees the fellow, tears well up.

"How about I cry for you?"

Minister Teng suggested, "Haha, stop joking around, it's too cold outside. Come on, let's find a room and have some hot water to chat."

It seems that the senior leaders still need to find Yang Dalin to understand the details.

Yang Dalin followed the three leaders to an office.

There were also two female comrades in military uniforms who were specifically there to take notes.

Besides Yang Dalin and the four leaders, there was no one else.

Yang Dalin took the initiative to tell everyone what had happened along the way.

Of course, Yang Dalin concealed the fact that he had his own space, saying that after the higher-ups agreed to start the battle, he took the lead, grabbed a gun, and rushed out with the soldiers.

They were chasing the enemy too fast and lost their way at night, eventually ending up near the capital of India.

I inadvertently discovered that many people in their country are dissatisfied with Indian rule, and riots have broken out among their own people.

He risked his life to help people from other sects.

It also supported many separatist factions.

That's how they received these rewards.

Everyone laughed at Yang Dalin's claim of being lost, none of them believed him, and no one called him out on it.

Someone got lost and was gone for more than two months.

As long as the result is good, that's fine.

The weaker the enemy, the more advantageous it is for us.

Why bother with so much?

However, Rong Shuai did ask Yang Dalin for his opinion on the country of Baba Yang.

It seems that the higher-ups have also taken notice of this country.

The Baba sheep have not yet formed a Baba iron alliance.

Only after Pakistani sheep have been tricked by the bald eagle and the old Russian will they realize that Brother Long is the best, and only then will they get along well with us and become our sworn brothers.

Yang Dalin spoke frankly, saying that we could try to win over this country, but we should also pay attention to the East Babayang region, as they might want to declare independence in the future.

If we could win over these two places at the same time, as well as the small countries of Jinxi, Danbu, and Nipol, that would be ideal.

In this way, we will have several small allies with India in the future.

These little allies can also cause India a lot of trouble for you.

It would be best to prevent India from annexing Kim Jong-un.

Historically, India annexed Kim Sik in 75.

As they were talking, Yang Dalin suddenly remembered something.
